  • 3.5 stars for brunch! Came here for Sunday brunch recently and enjoyed a lovely, unhurried meal. I like that you can book through OpenTable right on Yelp and considering that so many places in the city do not take reservations for brunch, this is a big plus. When catching up with an old friend, it's nice to just show up and not worry about waiting in lines! I was glad I reserved, because the place was really packed. Tables were a little bit squished together at some parts, or maybe that was just everyone's huge shopping bags getting in the way... So La Societe is one of those places that you come to for the ambiance, and in that respect, it totally delivers with Parisian charm. It's all mahogany wood, brass rails, and fancy lighting. Very warm and cozy, yet chic.The pièce de résistance is definitely the large and colourful stained glass ceiling -- just stunning! It reminded me of the Palau de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona (http://www.palaumusica.org/)! The crowd is very ladies-who-lunch with the usual pretentiousness of Yorkville (it even makes me use pretentious phrases like "pièce de résistance." I apologize.) I would come back though, because behind all the style, there is substance there too. The food we had was solid, and depending what you order, the prices are high but not exorbitant. (The drinks are another story... $6 for a small glass of juice? $5.50 for small a cappuccino?). I had the french toast. I wanted something sweet and was debating between the waffles, crepes, or french toast. I asked the server and she recommended the french toast without hesitation. I could see why. It was rich and buttery spread with chocolate nougat and caramelized bananas, dusted with icing sugar and served with maple syrup and whipped cream on the side. Heavenly. And for $10, I felt it was more than worth it. My DC opted for the eggs benny, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The options for brunch are quite extensive with salads, soups, seafood, and croque monsieur/madame (I think i will try that next time), so there is something for everyone. This would be a perfect place for brunch with the girls, post-work drinks, or a special occasion. I will definitely be back to try the prix fixe and sit on the patio once it's warm again.
